Chapter 1: Who Are You?

Have you ever pondered the question, "Who am I?" It can feel like an agonizing exercise that seems to stretch on for an eternity.

So, who exactly are you?

You might see yourself as a writer, a talented musician, a psychologist offering free advice, a stand-up comedian, an innovator, a filmmaker, and a photographer. Quite an impressive lineup! Wouldn’t it be wise to settle on one identity?

Before you rush to conclusions, let’s take a moment to reflect.

Think back to that instance when you drifted away during a meeting at work, where your colleagues discussed the new online banking system. In the midst of this mundane presentation, you suddenly realized that you were genuinely intrigued by the topic at hand—despite having previously opposed such changes. A sense of chaos began to brew within you. Have you forgotten your core beliefs? How could you betray them? That moment of awareness served as a wake-up call, revealing to you that you embody all those roles mentioned before—too many to keep track of, and certainly too tedious to enumerate once more.

Yet, despite the impressive titles that adorn your resume—or rather, the aspirations that linger in your mind—there is a stark contrast with your current reality.

You’re a banker.

This role looms over you like an ominous cloud, draining away the last remnants of joy from your existence. Once, you reveled in the fragrance of blooming flowers and basked in the sunlight, enjoying what you now think of as the epitome of summer bliss. Those cherished memories have faded into a hazy recollection, leaving you with a sour taste and a pallid complexion marked by deep, dark circles under your eyes.

When you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, time seems to accelerate, and you’re horrified by the reflection staring back at you—a nearly lifeless shell silently pleading for assistance.

Perhaps you feel like a nobody. You envision yourself as these remarkable figures solely because of your unwavering belief in your potential. It’s comforting to delve into that fantasy, if only for a fleeting moment, before you plunge back into the dreary routine you’ve come to accept. You no longer aspire to be a renowned composer or a successful director; you merely think and talk about it, feeding your superficial longings and complaining occasionally. And that’s sufficient.

After all, who has truly achieved the success you yearn for? The people you see on screens, stages, billboards, or magazine covers don’t reflect your reality. Your family and friends would agree.

Rationalize your fears, for they will inevitably resurface. Each time they do, find a way to reason your way into despair.
